I have a good gchat convo where I mention to my Spurs friend a road draw is still a good result right before they score again. Love that european soccer.

Are there any prominent Bosnian players on PSV or Barca? There was quite a crowd at a Bosnian lunch place today watching the game. I wondered if it was to see anyone in particular, or just Barca and/or UCL.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

How long until you get used to seeing Steve Nash on the studio show?

I sat there thinking "Damn...that guy looks a lot like Steve Nash".

Feels like a really good thing, from a bookkeeping standpoint, that KDB’s contract got done before his absence.

How do I make the joke where its merging Hugo Lloris and Loris Karius? His name should have been Loras or Lores Karius then the spelling would make the joke work on its own.

Last time I checked, FC Vorskla Poltava wasn't in the Champions League either. That should be a cracker of a game.

Well, all Spurs have to do is win in the Nou Camp in two weeks.

So the Europa League beckons, but they could not have played much better than they did today, so at least there's that.

Barca will be resting some starters today

But Spurs will be playing their 3rd string right-back who hasn't had a start since Opening Day of last season.

Come on PSV!

From Sid Lowe in the Guardian...
Pochettino said the reaction in the dressing room was a special feeling he had never experienced before, and he was back out just after 11.15pm, clapping the fans sitting there in an otherwise empty arena. They were still in the stadium almost an hour after the final whistle, but they didn’t care: this had become a moment to be enjoyed and savoured.

IN terms of the teams the CL would have likely picked to go through, they stand a good shot of being 16-for-16, no?

If Donetsk beats Lyon, than the only question mark would be Spurs over Inter.

So did Liverpool fans take issue with Muller's red card and argue it was really a 50/50 ball and you should protect yourself and really he kinda ran into the "boot" more than he got kicked?

Feels like United will find a way past PSG, Mourinho masterclass plus PSG choking. Atletico-Juventus the best tie of the last 16, should be very even.
